Sussex Street Community Law Service is a not-for-profit non-government community-based organisation. We provide access to accountable, non-judgmental and effective legal services to low income people in the community.
Sussex Street Centre commenced operation on 1 March 1978 as a family resource centre under the auspice of the Curtin University of Technology School of Social Work. Over time, the legal services were integrated to the social welfare service. The Sussex Street Community Law Service opened its doors in 1982 to provide free advice on Thursday evenings. In 1986, Curtin University withdrew from the agency and the centre became wholly community-managed.
